Talk about video games, movies, music, news, and technology without wading through a thousand dumb kids and dozen exclamation points after each sentence. Try it out for a few days and remember what it's like to breathe Internet air without getting two lungs full of stupid.

Fig is a platform for people who want to invest in a game, as well as standard crowdfunding. The games raise their budget by both methods at once. The crossover isn't anything I'd want to get involved with.

Gotta admire the arrogance - as a dev, we've seen Double Fine only succeed once on delivering exactly what was promised (Massive Chalice) when they manage their own money. Now, they want to ask for your money again, to do a follow up to one of the worst platformers ever devised. But hey, it's has Story and Humor!

(at least, the original did)

If Psychonauts 2 ends up being an adventure game with the same characters, I could see it being fun. If it ends up that Brad Muir is running the show (but I don't think he's at DF anymore), I could see it being done relatively on time and on budget. Otherwise? I expect this to be funded, broken up into some episodic style release, and then they ask for more money with each chapter. Or something.

I wonder how much longer Double Fine can exploit their indie/hipster/adventure game cred before even the most ardent fans think twice about bankrolling their poorly planned projects?
